When you consider how much games software is simply a rehash,
it would be nice to be able to give a big welcome to something
even slightly different.
This game moves a "man" in flight from voracious zombies. The
aim is to manoeuvre a pothole between the man and the zombie, so
the latter falls into it and gets deleted. Difficulty level can
be changed by varying parameters.
Incredibly on a Forth machine, this game is rather slow and with
eight keys to control it, more or less has to be. If it went
faster, it could become unplayable, but as it is, I soon got bored
and tended to let my man fall down the pothole too.
The program then prints an excitingly rude message. Should wow
them in the first schools, but not really a program for adults.
